Federal officials revealed the arrest of 42 members of the SFV Peckerwoods gang, showcasing the group's extensive criminal activities and their status as a domestic terror organization.
U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada emphasized, 'What truly distinguishes them, what defines them is their hate and their animus toward racial, ethnic and religious minorities,' labeling the group a grave menace.
The gang's involvement in serious crimes included racketeering, firearms, drug trafficking, and identity theft, reflecting a complex network tied to organized crime in California prisons.
Law enforcement seized substantial quantities of illegal firearms and drugs, including fentanyl and methamphetamine, highlighting the gang's operations in drug trafficking and violent crimes.
